THE PLAsTERING.
William Bryson plastered the College
throughout, and in this work he has
shown the same knowledge of his busi-
ness, and integrity as a business man
that characterize all the contracts he
takes. He has done all this work con.
scientiously and artistically. A walk
through the great halls, along the corri.
dors OF the building and through the
rooms will hardly reveal flaw to the
most watchful eye. The smooth white
surfaces show that MIR. Bryson does not
stint his patrons in the use OF material,
and that he knows how to put it
on to the very best advantage.
There is no part of contractors
work which is more frequently
neglected than is this of the plastering.
1t Is, too, most important matter in the
construction of fine building like ST.
Vineent's is. Mr.. Bryson has been in
the city great many Of years. He has
plastered q very large number OF our
best residences and business blocks, and
in all the work he has done no one has
ever found cause to complain OF his
work. He is q skillful ana an honest
craftsman who takes pride in his work,
and guards his reputation most zeal.
ously.
THE PLUMBING.
Here is another very important part
of SO large o building, one to be
occupied by SO many people, where the
greatest care must be exercised. No de-
partment Of architecture is at the pres
ent day attracting more attention than
his of plumbing. Sanitary plumbing
has become an art in our days. Defec-
tive plumbing has caused more deaths in
the human family than any other thing
connected with house building. The
Fathers were very anxious to have their
fine building made as free from all dam
ger to the health Of their pupils as possi.
BILE, and therefore they spared no ex.
pense on the plumbing. When it is
stated that J. c. McMenomy did the
work, Los Angeles people. one
and all, will know how well
it has been done. Mr.. McMenomy is one
of ohr old.timers. He has done the
plumbing in many of the best houses in
the city, and his work is always done
| carefully, thoroughly aud as perfectly
as it is possible to do such work. An
inspection of the work done at St.
Vincent's Cottage will prove how thor.
oughly competent man McMenomy is
and when you want work done go to
his place at IL East First street to or
| der it.
The architect, Mr.. B. J. Reese, is one
of the best known men in the business
in Los Angeles. He watches all the
details of all departments OF any build
ngs he superintends, and allows none
| but the very best work to be done.
